The Unpositioned Parts / Bella Bravo

12.00

In Bella Bravo’s debut story collection The Unpositioned Parts, mysterious illnesses and a prevailing sense of forsakenness complicate the growing pains of adolescence. Set in a fabulist world in crisis, the youths of these short stories struggle with associative parents, an evaporating materiality, and immunization efforts that mimic Freud’s death drive. These stories form an ouroboros of language into corporeality, corporeality into language. In response to precarious environments, bodies contort into daring positions—stopping traffic, balancing atop a cliff and living within a community.
